Redhead Library

lending libraryWe now have a lending library in the Redhead Produce Stand.  We used a cabinet that Tom had not gotten around to fixing and books that I have purchased or inherited from my grandparents.  Hopefully this will be a nice addition to the Prairie.

Rocky Sweater

rocky and sweaterI finished knitting a sweater for our beagle Rocky.  It is my first attempt at a Gansey sweater.  It is from yarn from a favorite (now gone) llama named Tudor.  It makes him look a little chubby, and the neck is a little big.  It was a tricky because he has a big dog size chest, but the rest of him is little dog sized.  And it is late getting done as the weather is warming,  But hopefully it will keep him warm next winter.

Pickin’ Up the Meat

silvanaI picked up our meat on my way home from work this morning.  It was one 234# hog, one 238# hog and one 40# lamb, all hanging weights.  Although the cut and wrap weight is quite a bit less, this really loaded down my little car.  And it does not include the smoked meats that will be ready in 2 weeks.
